（译文）

会议已经拖拖拉拉开了一个多小时，我们正在讨论怎样提升生产效率提案。这时，最能言善道同事插话说需要某种制度来激励员工。每次会上，不论讨论什么问题，他都会提出同一个方案。紧接着，另一位同事长篇累牍地说明我们都不是提出这些提议适当人选。13/54

（译文）

我也没说啥有用。最终，召集会议女同事宣告散会，并通知下周继续开会。我们游荡回各自办公室，盘算着怎样才能把浪费时间补回来。这是多年前一次会议，但类似情景依然随时随地在不一样企业上演。

（译文）

这种会议问题部分在于会议召集人没有明确目标或议程，也没有布置好会前准备工作，而是寄希望于奇迹发生，带来处理问题方法。当然，奇迹从未发生。

Partoftheproblematsuchmeetingsisthattheleaderhasnotsetclear_________oranagenda,anddidn’t_______pre-meetingpreparationtasks.Instead,theleaderseemstohopethatmagicwilloccur,producing________totheproblems.Ofcourse,thatdoesn’thappen.assignobjectivessolutions17/54

19/54

（译文）

会议之所以效率不高，主要是因为没有很好地珍惜时间。召开和参加会议人都没有将时间当做最宝贵资源。但时间是世上最易逝东西。忙碌一天中你无法得到额外一个小时来做事。尽管如此，我们还总是依稀以为未来有大把时间，故而不珍惜当下，漫不经心地把家庭、朋友和自己时间浪费掉。20/54

25/54

（译文）

过去，我开会时参加度不高，对要处理问题有好想法却不说。现在，我采取更主动态度，希望会议能更有效。我遵照以下三个简单标准。第一，不论谁召集会议，都必须明确目标。这意味着说明会议切实目标并将任务布置下去。26/54

（译文）

第二，每个人都要仔细考虑会议成本：到底需要几人参加？要开多久？最终，会议结束后，要给会议责任人评评分。假如谁有开会效率低统计，那么下次他就不能再担任召集人。28/54

Tran:什么都不能成为你考试作弊理由。

我知道会议还有其它作用。有时，在会上大家能够讨论预定方案，确保其没有致命错误并给那些有异议人一个表示心声机会。

Iknowthatmeetingsmay_______otherfunctions.Sometimes,theycancommunicateasolution,makesurethatthereareno___________initandgivethosewhoareunhappywithitachancetovoicetheir_____________.servedissatisfactionfatalflaws32/54

（译文）

有些会议则有些人文功效，创造机会让与会者叙叙旧、交交新朋友，并增强归属感。这些倒是能为那些冗长而显著无效会议找到些许召集理由。

不过，千万不要随随便便就召集会议，然后心存幻想，期待奇迹出现。不论会议目标是什么，都要负起责任去达成目标。
